Bikas Saha commented on YARN-534:
---------------------------------
Turns out that the max attempts limit is checked when job fails (and tries to
launch new attempt) and not when the new attempt is actually being launched.
The RM on restart, could choose to remove applications that have already hit
the limit.
> AM max attempts is not checked when RM restart and try to recover attempts

> Currently,AM max attempts is only checked if the current attempt fails and
> check to see whether to create new attempt. If the RM restarts before the
> max-attempt fails, it'll not clean the state store, when RM comes back, it
> will retry attempt again.
